6.3 HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide (TA768-96093, June 2013)

Tutorial for using the HTTP StoreAll REST API object mode
This section walks you through using the major components of object mode. You will be shown
how to:
• Create a container.
• Set permissions for the container.
• Upload and create objects for the container.
• View the contents of the container.
• Download contents from the container.
It is assumed you have already created an HTTP StoreAll REST API share in object mode. See
“Checklist for creating HTTP shares” (page 116) for information on how to create an HTTP share.
IMPORTANT: You cannot use the local root account on the StoreAll servers. If you have not
already, identify a local user account or a user account on Active Directory. See “Configuring
authentication for SMB, FTP, and HTTP” (page 61) for additional information.
Gather the information listed in the following table before you begin the steps in this section:
